These festivals give their origin in the rituals of Celtic culture.
00:00:01
The arrival of winter marked the beginning of the dark year and the celebrated chestnuts
00:00:05
were collected and roasted in large communal bonfires since fire received rich symbolings
00:00:10
for the Celts.
00:00:16
In Spain, Halloween smells like chestnuts.
00:00:17
Although its current celebration was spread mainly in the United States and the surrounding
00:00:21
areas of the Anglo-Saxon world, more and more people have decided to join this party
00:00:26
and follow the line imposed by Hollywood and the North American giant.
00:00:30
However, each country usually has its own celebrations for All Saints Day
00:00:35
and these are reluctant to disappear.
00:00:40
In the case of Spain, there are typical festivals for the night of October 31st,
00:00:43
such as Magosto, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula and the Castañeda in Catalonia.
00:00:48
Magosto is usually celebrated especially in Galicia.
00:00:59
Altraud aslo in other parts of the city.
00:01:02
Spain's geography sucks at Salamanca, Cáceres, Zamora, and even outside our borders.
00:01:07
In Portugal, where it is called Mangost.
00:01:12
In Catalonia, it's known as Castellada and chestnuts are usually accompanied with muscat
00:01:16
wind or sweet potatoes.
00:01:23
The country vascos call it Catrinea, it's Cantabria, it is Mangosta and Asturias a Manguetsu,
00:01:26
where the chestnuts are taken with sweet silder.
00:01:35
Each gnaw names its festival according to its roots and traditions.
00:01:39
All goats are focused on welcoming the month of November and have as a great protagonist
00:01:47
common to rusted chestnuts.
00:01:54
In Galicia, in fact, the mangosto continues to have importance to the deceased during
00:02:01
their celebrations, and it is considered for the stoves to be left on all the nights for
00:02:08
they did to find their wife home, work up, and take the food often made by family members.
00:02:18
This type of details is where we find the common elements with the Celtic Samhain that
00:02:30
is still celebrated in Ireland and that has been maintained in Galicia under the name
00:02:36
of Samhain, before potatoes and corns were bought from America and acquired the relevance
00:02:43
that they maintain today chestnuts and acorns were a fundamental part of the diet of unsigned people
00:02:49
and the peasant population for centuries they used to be consumed fresh dried or ground to
00:02:56
make flour but is rested from talk on a certain relevance in celebration likes the one we are
00:03:03
dealing with. When the bonfire begins to burn out and generates embers, a metal cylinder
00:03:11
with holes is placed on top with the chestnuts are placed so that they are roasted
00:03:20
little by little with the heat. This difference between pumpkins and chestnuts is almost obvious
00:03:29
if we think about the origin of both. Spain has had a large percentage of chestnut trees
00:03:36
since the Roman Empire promoted its cultivation and, as we have already said, its fruit was
00:03:41
a staple food of the majority of the population for centuries.
00:03:46
On the other hand, the use of pumpkins on Halloween comes from the United States and
00:03:49
a surplus of this vegetable at the end of the 19th century.
00:03:53
There are several traditions.
00:03:57
Dia de las Calaveras, from La Rioja.
00:03:58
Dia de las Calaveras is a Celtic tradition that derives from the festival of Samhain.
00:04:01
Following tradition, the children empty and carve the pumpkins in the shape of a school,
00:04:06
placing a little candle inside.
00:04:10
Then they go through the town in search of candies or sweets, while they sing a song.
00:04:13
In addition to this, on November 1st, the All Saints Flower Market is held in Logroño.
00:04:16
The Festival of Dos Santos, from Andalucía Taking advantage of the fact that the people
00:04:22
of Cadiz flocked to buy typical autumn products on November 31, in 1876, it was agreed to
00:04:28
decorate the stalls of the central market as well as the square and its surroundings.
00:04:34
Currently, retailers not only decorate their stalls but also make comic and satirical representations with their products of events that have had political or social relevance during the year.
00:04:39
La chaquetía from Extremadura
00:04:51
Traditionally, la chaquetía referred to the Christmas gift that children collect from their relatives or neighbors during All Saints Day.
00:04:52
Currently, this tradition has become the afternoon snack of November 1st or 2nd that usually
00:05:00
takes place in the field and in which fruits of the time are consumed such as walnuts or
00:05:06
chestnuts.
00:05:11
La Noche de los Muertos de Ánimas, from Murcia In Murcia, the ancient traditions of Todos
00:05:12
los Santos are still very strong, especially the gastronomic ones.
00:05:18
The traditional All Saints Market in the Plaza de San Pedro in Murcia collects all the traditional
00:05:23
region pastries, fig bread, flower porridge, orange blossom honey, and various kinds of
00:05:28
wine filters and saint bones.
00:05:33
Of course, you cannot miss the sweet star, the syrup and pumpkin.
00:05:36
Don Juan Tenorio, Madrid The true origin of the tradition of performing
00:05:43
the Tenorio on the eve of Saint's Day is unknown, but the popular custom of going to
00:05:47
see José Torreya's plays is still very present in many theatres in the country.
00:05:53
In Alcalá de Henares this performance has become more than a tribute, it has become
00:05:59
a unique festivity.
00:06:04
The play comes to life and is performing outdoors in five locations in the town, including the
00:06:06
cemetery.
00:06:13
La Estantigua, Castilla la Mancha Traditionally, on the eve of Saint's Eve,
00:06:14
a large bonfire was held in the middle of the village, as a symbol of protection against
00:06:20
of Antigua, a procession of the living dead. In recent years, these traditions have been
00:06:26
supplanted by Halloween, a Catholic holiday in which children dress up as angels, nuns,
00:06:33
bishops, saints and priests. This party has become common in Toledo, Talavera de la Reina
00:06:40
and Madrid Ejos.
00:06:48
La Moraga Castilla y León La Moraga is a tradition of medieval and
00:06:50
Christian origin, in which family and friends gathered in the country to roast chernuts.
00:06:54
This popular festival is still held in many regions and villages of Castilla y León,
00:07:00
where after worshipping the dead in the cemeteries, many people gather to roast chernuts and snacks
00:07:07
on other roads and streets.
00:07:15
In villages of the Sierra de Gredos, chernuts are accompanied with a liqueur made with musk
00:07:17
and brandy called La Angélica.
00:07:24
Sa Tranqueda and Ses Bubotes, Islas Baleares.
00:07:27
In Ibiza and Formentera, in the past, the whole family would get together to make San
00:07:31
Tranqueda, a dinner based on dry foods, bunjos and old panellets.
00:07:37
In Menorca, Mallorca, there was the custom of wrapping oneself, combining it in sheets to simulate a ghost or bubotta.
00:07:43
Nowadays, traditions such as giving sugar groceries, being nearly made of sweets that godparents give to their godchildren,
00:07:52
and getting together to eat the typical bonjour, are still the protagonists of our sun's day.
00:08:02
The Night of the Finaos in Las Canarias
00:08:10
The Night of the Finaos, or Night of the Decas, began as a poor family celebration in which people stayed all night sharing stories and jokes, drinking wine and eating chernuts, nuts and sweets.
00:08:13
In the neighborhood of Vegetta, in the heart of Las Palmas, this popular Canarian tradition filled the streets with malagueñas.
00:08:28
roasted chernut, bones of the sign, wine and rum and honey.
00:08:38
The use of pumpkins
00:08:44
The method of protection against these evil spirits, jacks or lathes, were the pumpkins they were given hideous shapes,
00:08:47
no is friendly as is done today and they place on the doors to scare him so that
00:08:58
he would not enter. The Constumens. The origin of the Constumens has come from
00:09:07
the Celtic era and is that they were used to dry away evil spirits, adopting their
00:09:20
appearance to avoid being harmed. On Scotland, for example, young people dressed in white and
00:09:27
were smacked as though they were called elves, with their faces painted black. The result is someone
00:09:34
stealing. Knives of the souls, your own. Traditionally, during the knives of souls,
00:09:42
on November 1, a courier was made of illuminated pumpkins to the gravedigger to guide the souls
00:09:51
strapped in the people. This tradition continues to be celebrated in Alto Aragón, in the towns
00:09:58
of Rediquero and Graus, where they continue to carry hungins in the shape of skulls
